Labor Day was celebrated around the country on Monday and, as usual, when doing so there were speeches extolling the virtues of hard work and workers’ contributions to America, as well as assertions about why the living standards of American workers have risen so much in the past few generations. #economicanalysis #laborday #useconomy #workers Read more in the latest Wesbury Weekly Outlook here > https://lnkd.in/ePkvd6Ma

"The presidential race for the White House has already had tremendous drama and we are still 96 days from Election Day! Who knows what may transpire next? Many investors attempt to tactically “play” the expected result of the presidential election prior to the actual vote. In our view, positioning portfolios based on a candidate’s policy views and an expectation of that candidate’s victory are misguided. Even if you get the right candidate, the portfolio positioning may be incorrect or superseded by other concerns." Read the latest Market Minute with McGarel here > https://lnkd.in/g79-ZcZW

"We all knew it was coming…and in Jackson Hole, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said it will come next month. He said, “the time has come,” and the futures markets have priced in either a 25 or 50 basis point rate cut at the meeting on September 18. While the world seems to think the setting of the federal funds rate is the most important decision in monetary policy, we don’t think that’s true. With the advent of the abundant reserve policy in 2008, the Fed separated the link between the money supply and interest rates. In reality there are multiple things we watch to determine the stance of monetary policy. Interest rates are one, but the rate of growth in M2 is more important…" Read more in the latest Wesbury Weekly Outlook here > https://lnkd.in/eF2ZB5cJ Brian Wesbury #economicanalysis #monetarypolicy #useconomy #interestrates

"Unfortunately, when it comes to the government, what’s old is sometimes new again. Back in the late 1960s and 1970s the Federal Reserve printed too much money relative to Real GDP, resulting in repeated bouts of high inflation. President Nixon, having been burned by a mild recession in 1960 the first time he pursued the presidency, wanted to make sure there was no hint of recession in 1972, the year he’d be seeking re-election."

"Pretty much every month there’s one week that has the most important economic reports. For the month of August that’s this week. The reports this week include consumer price inflation, producer prices, retail sales, industrial production, housing starts, and unemployment claims. As it stands, it looks like the broader economy is decelerating as the tighter monetary policy of the past two years finally gains traction."

"As Milton Friedman taught us many decades ago, monetary policy works with long and variable lags. Recent economic reports suggest that the long and variable lags on the tightening of monetary policy in 2022-23 are starting to come to an end. Both inflation and economic growth are decelerating."

Introducing the First Trust US Momentum UCITS ETF ("FTMO"), now trading on the London Stock Exchange. FTMO provides exposure to the 180 largest US companies exhibiting strong price momentum, while incorporating valuation checks to help mitigate risk. FTMO features a smart momentum strategy, built-in risk mitigation, quarterly rebalancing, and a liquid, cost-efficient ETF structure.

"Listen to enough politicians and it won’t take long to hear about the lack of “affordable” healthcare, drugs, daycare, and housing. This was going on long before inflation returned after COVID. Everyone wants affordable things. But the concept of affordability is made up of two components – the price of something and the income of the person who wants to possess it. There are complicating factors in every market, so let’s focus on one – housing."
